For pilots and aircrew
A clear answer, fast. Thorough diagnostics in China within days, with certified English reports written for your aviation medical examiner.
Why we built this page
Our founder is an airline captain. After an episode of chest pain, he faced a 12-month wait to see a cardiologist in Canada. He flew to China instead and had his tests, results and answers the same day.
Why pilots come to us
No months of waiting
A specialist, scans and tests in the same week, instead of months grounded while you wait for appointments.
A complete answer
Every test done in one visit, so you return with a diagnosis rather than a list of further referrals.
Reports your examiner can use
Certified English translations of every result, organised the way an aviation medical file needs them.
Discreet from start to finish
We deal only with you. Nothing goes to your airline, union, colleagues or anyone else.

✈ Flights not included
Many pilots and airline staff can travel on staff standby. If your company allows it, flying standby to China keeps the cost of this trip very low. If not, add your own return fare.
Estimates only, using the public-hospital price ranges above and our published fees. Your real costs are confirmed in writing before you travel.
Your records stay private
Chinese hospitals have no reporting link to foreign aviation authorities, employers or insurers. Under China’s Personal Information Protection Law, your records are released only to you, or to people you authorise in writing. We never share them with your airline or anyone else.
Your licence, your responsibility
Private does not mean undeclared. You remain responsible for reporting medical visits, tests and diagnoses as your licensing authority requires, such as Transport Canada, the FAA or EASA. We do not advise anyone to leave anything out. What we do is make sure you go to your next medical with complete, certified reports, ideally showing a problem already diagnosed and dealt with.

Tests, results and a specialist consultation, with an interpreter at every step.
Home with your reports
